In step I for numbers- the highest number come first at left end and for words the smallest word(which comes first) according to alphabetical series comes to the right end and in step II for numbers the second highest number comes at left end and the highest number which arranged in step 1 will shift to the right till the numbers are arranged in and for words the second smallest word comes at right end and the word which arranged in step I will shift to the left till all the words are arranged.

In the final step all words are arranged increasing alphabetical series while numbers are also arranged increasing order from left.
